The first fighters competing at KSW 45: The Return to Wembley have been confirmed by the promotion for their October 6 card at The SSE Arena, Wembley.

Infamous rapper and former London resident Popek Monster (3-3) is set to return to action following a successful stint away from the cage on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ in Poland. Joining him on the London card will be Olympic medalist Damian Janikowski (3-0), who will make his first international MMA appearance after three straight finishes over notably more experienced opposition.

Almost three years since their last visit to the city, KSW is set to return to London, England on October 6 at The SSE Arena, Wembley for KSW 45.

Following a breakout year in 2017, one which saw a record breaking stadium show and a debut in Ireland, KSW now returns to the UK for the first time since KSW 32 in 2015. That night saw almost 10,000 packed into The SSE Arena, Wembley to watch a host of KSW’s top stars including Mariusz Pudzianowski, Borys Mankowski, Tomasz Narkun and Mateusz Gamrot take to the cage.

“Our last show in London was a huge success,” said KSW co-owner Maciej Kawulski. “We are delighted to finally be coming back and showcase our event again to our fans, new and old, there. We promise to bring another action-packed fight card with our biggest names. England, you do not want to miss this!”

Tickets for the event will be on sale Thursday, June 7 at 10am local time from AXS.com.
